David Benavidez has no shortage of HUGE fights on his radar. In an exclusive interview with BoxingScene, Jose Benavidez Sr. makes it clear that David still wants the biggest names at 175lbs including Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev. Benavidez has previously said those are two fights he wants to make as he pursues more titles and major challenges. But there’s another name that could make things very interesting: Andy Ruiz Jr. Jose discusses the possibility of an all-Mexican showdown between Benavidez and the former heavyweight champion, along with David’s plans across multiple divisions. And with a potential Jai Opetaia showdown also building after the pair came face-to-face following Opetaia’s latest victory, Benavidez has some massive options ahead.

‘The Beast’ Anthony Yarde is taking another step up in class after his destruction of Chris Hobbs for his first professional title.
On July 8th, the unbeaten Light-Heavyweight will face Richard Baranyi as he attempts to wrestle his WBO European Light-Heavyweight Title away at the Copper Box Arena.
Big things are expected from the chiseled Londoner, especially after his dismantling of Hobbs. “[Hobbs’] body was exposed, all sorts of exposure, I said to myself touch the head go to the body, if I see a shot I’m gonna keep doing it until you’ve learnt your lesson,” Yarde told PSB Sports.
The 6ft ‘Beast’ always looks in prime condition and his preparation for his upcoming bout is no exception: “Preparation is fantastic, we’re working every day. It’s my decision when I want to rest, I know my body.
“Right now I’m 11-0 (10 KOs), I’m still only focused on myself. I’m fighting for the WBO European [Title], my next opponent is ‘chicken biryani’ - that’s my focus right now. I’m not focused on anyone else in the division!”
